HELP regarding Upgrade to MM STOCK ROM OR CM 13.0 !!!

Hi guys, its been a few days since I joined here. [Read : I am a noob/newbie in Android related things, and I desperately need help.]
In July (maybe, I forgot), I rooted my ZE550KL, using exactly this method from the website of www-asus-zenfone-com. :cyclops:
Now that, my android seems aged, I wanna shift/upgrade to Marshmallow/Nougat, be it Stock or Custom ROM.
Few days earlier, I unlocked my Bootloader using the Unofficial Bootloader Unlocking Method, as found on this Forum.
I also installed TWRP Recovery, and I tried to flash CM-14.1 [7.1] Nougat-Nightly through TWRP, but, unfortunately, resulted in Status 7 Error. I tried to solve the problem by removing "asserts" section in Update-Binary text file, in the build. But, again, I seemingly worsened the problem; as I got Status 6 error thereby. So, I did factory reset, and I still retain root.
Now, today as I am going through the Official thread of CM 14.1 Nougat, I saw numerous users reporting Bugs of connection issues (something like Wifi to Mobile Data switch problem), which I would like to OBVIOUSLY AVOID, as I want a stable, bug-less build. So, I am thinking to go with the last snapshot build of CM 13.0 Marshmallow.
Here comes the my question : " SHOULD I FLASH CM 13.0 MM -- OR -- STOCK ROM OF MM -- OR -- RESURRECTION REMIX MM ROM?? "
In any of the case, please guide me through the process of doing so.
And, if I have to flash CM 13.0 MM, what would I do if I encounter Status Error 7 again ? :crying:

first you have to upgrade it to marshmallow using stock rom. Then you can flash cm13 or cm14.1

While flashing CM13 if that error 7 includes "asus.verify trustzone failed..." Then its bcoz of need to update modem files (LP to MM)....
Easy way to overcome it is..... download MM modem ZIP from second post of OFFICIAL CM13 thread (120MB) and flash it using TWRP (If you are using twrp).... THEN you can flash cm13 hopefully without error 7....
If you are using stock recovery then Either u can flash twrp and use above method... OR... Download ASUS ZE550KL firmware zip file from ASUS site (1.6GB) .... Put it in SDCARD... Then boot to stock recovery and use "apply update from sdcard" option... select ZIP... Alongwith firmware Ur Modem files will also update to MM... and now u can flash twrp and then cm13...
sorry.. I know if i am lazy to post direct links...
Try it.. I will help if i can

We have both stable RR and CM13.
CM is simple and clean and less loaded.... RR is most feature rich Custom rom we have alongwith stability...
Rest depends on what type of user, u are... If u like trying differnt ROMs... Start with CM13...
If u just want to have a feature rich longtime setup, U can use RR directly without wasting time... It is based on CM, So it obviously have everything CM has.... :good:

What im trying to tell is that my problem is not only installation in custom roms but i also cant install any other roms eiether from official site or some other site which means i cant install any roms accept the one the stock rom i mentioned above. And also i already tried to install MM firmware but it gives out error code 7 in twrp. I tried as i was said to install the previous version of lollipop before the update of MM came out but still i cant install them.

Which Android u r using now
Lolipop or MM

is your bootloader locked on unlocked?
just go back to stock versions for now
if u r on lollipop, download the 'next version' from asus
if u r on marshmallow, download the next version from asus
use fastboot (bootloader) mode to flash if required
when all is stable and done,
download & flash twrp
flash lineage 13, then lineage 14

ZIP TREBLE COMPATIBILITY ERROR (Latest TWRP 3.2.2)

I've flashed the latest TWRP 3.2.2 on my Zenfone max pro m1 3/32.
I was previously on completely stock rom. I unlocked the bootloader and then flashed latest TWRP 3.2.2.
Next when I went to flash HAVOC PIE ROM OFFICIAL, I wiped data, dalvik,cache and system but then when I flashed,I got Zip treble compatibility error saying illegal zip format.
Please help, I'm unable to flash any pie roms.

Nope. There is a file. Firmware-upgrade.zip. something like that. Flashing that would work if you had nougat as base instead of oreo.

Flash the 8.1 firmware. (recommended) Check XDA, you'll get it.
otherwise you can flash a zip which will enable the fingerprint sensor but you won't get nfc.
Best option is to flash the 8.1 firmware update, make sure to uncheck erase EFS.
After sucessfully flashing it, flash any custom rom of your choice.

Android Q update and Rollback

Hello,
I tried to install a custom rom on my phone, but i never achieve it...
I always stuck on booting screen (soft brick).
So i decided to flash official rom with miflash.
I had a rollback error (rollback version 1).
So i remove the check in the all_flash.bat file
I made the flash successfully.
I tried to install the zip file for android Q and i got this error in picture attached.
looks like current android version is different from that in the recovery package
Any idea how to fix it?
Rollback anti is still 1.
Thanks guys!

There are Global and EEA official Android 10 ROMs. Check if you pick the right version with your actual ROM version.

Thanks for your Reply.
My phone is in PDJEUXM rom ans i have download SFJEUXM.
so i think i pick the good one...

PDJEUXM
SFJEUXM
LOL what??

I think it's not possible to install the eu rom cause it's a beta rom.
Until we get like a version 11.0.4.0 or something Higher i think it's impossible to install.

Welcome to the K20 or Mi9T Forum!
Redmi Note 7 isn't here!

Finally, i install it using TWRP
Thanks for the help guys!
